I was mighty impressed by Fleming - as a doubles player anyway. If he made any unforced errors, apart from double faults, they passed me by. I see he took three years out to get a first-class honours degree. I wonder if it affected his progress.

Scrappy and a bit inconsistant. Need solid play and remain focussed. Some good point being producted by the Tunisians though.

Thanks for the reports from yourself and Nigel. Only caught up with the score this morning and couldn't believe Fleming/Murray actually managed to lose a set, but according to the Beeb inconsistent serving was the problem, and I suppose it goes without saying that Tunisia were probably playing out of their skins.

Fleming is impressive and usually consistent. He and his partner did a great job winning gold for Scotland in the mixed doubles last year in Delhi.

In an interview a while back Fleming said he realised he was never going to make the top of the tennis tree, so hence the degree. Incidentally all his pals from Stirling Uni usually turn up at DC matches if he's playing and are very vocal!

Maybe Murray elder has same problems with consistency as Murray younger?

Talking of which, Murray younger has reportedly said he'll play in the next DC tie. Maybe it's time he does - after all, according to DC requirements, the countries involved are supposed to put forward their best players; and Fed had the Swiss tennis authorities breathing down his neck recently because he hasn't 'condescended' to turn up for quite a while now.
